Dialysis Program on Renal Treatment Modalities Choice from the Journal of Clinical Nephrolog
Introduction In Portugal, approximately 2,500 patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 5) begin renal replacement therapy (RRT) each year. The choice between kidney transplantation (TX), hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), or conservative treatment (CT) is complex, impacting quality of life and long-term health outcomes. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical…

The Role of Routine Ultrasound in Predicting Symptomatic Lymphoceles After Kidney Transplantation
Introduction Routine ultrasound is a widely used non-invasive imaging technique to monitor kidney grafts post-transplantation. However, its predictive value for complications such as symptomatic lymphoceles remains uncertain. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Nephrology examines whether ultrasound at discharge can effectively identify patients at risk of developing symptomatic lymphoceles.

Stemness of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are revolutionizing regenerative medicine with their ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types. These multipotent cells, found in bone marrow, adipose tissue, and other sources, are already in clinical trials for treating orthopedic, cardiovascular, and autoimmune conditions. Understanding MSC stemness—their capacity to remain undifferentiated and maintain therapeutic properties—is…
